Document Meta-Data Association Rules

When Serna opens and renders an XML document, it needs additional meta-information in order to open the document correctly. For instance, this meta-data includes paths to the XSL stylesheet, XML schema, etc. The collection of such meta-data associated with the document is called Document Source Information ( DSI).

Besides DSI, Serna uses another type of meta-data that is used for GUI layout, plugins, etc. This is so called External Meta-Data, as it is kept in separate files.
